Worst Job You've Ever Had

Worst Job You've Ever Had

Come on then, following on from Brid's thread... Whats the worst job you've EVER had? this could turn into a shite thread bearing in mind most people on here are students who work/did work in bars...

Mine :

1) Scaffolding plank maker : In a builders merchants yard, hammering metal strips onto the end of scaffolding planks... 100's and 100's of planks a day... 1000's and 1000's of nails a day... in all weather... tons of blisters, splinters, etc... but i was a student and i needed the money. All £2.50 an hour.

2) Food Prepartion Assistant : Consisted of 2 roles

a) Pre-Packed Sandwich Assitant - Making sure cheese was adequately arranged on a bit of bread in those sarnies u get on garage forecourts. a long converyor belt which never stopped for 4 hours till break. You'd get bad motion sickness, like watching the credits of a film too long. People would often pass out when it stopped abruptly.

b) Meat Packer - Freshly sealed joints of meat came down a slide (covered in skin, junk, blood, etc) and i had to weight it into crates. Afterwards, clear up the 'left overs' in giant bag and chuck into a skip. that bit in 'fight club' where they're getting bags of fat from the skip... thats kinda what it was like... but very dirty...and the smell will live with me forever..... :sick:

my uncle used to own a sandwich shop and one summer when i was 13 or 14 he said i could work there for the day to see what it was like. I ended up being in the kitchen tearing fat off bacon and dabbing all the grease and oil off it after it being cooked. Think the usual women in ther thought they'd give me the jobs they hate! I also ended up just washing up for ages......


I used to babysit for 2 brothers from being 14 to 16 and ended up practically nanying for them. But the worst was the youngest one had explosive diorrhea, could happen at any point.....euwwwww was gross! like kenny in south park :sick: :sick:

packing polystrene in a factory, 6-2 shifts, during the summer holidays while at college

either that or counting stock in a warehouse from 6am- 6pm

i also had a mate worked at a toy factory... Matel i think it was, in Leicester... one of the sticker machines has broken down and was going to take a month to fix - hence get a temp in to put 'CE' stickers on every box that went past... a tiny sticker, the size of a tik-tac


i think he went mad and lives in shopping trolley by the canal

When I was still at school I used to work in a butchers on Saturdays just to get enough money to go out on a Friday or Saturday night to the many house parties that used to be held. It might not seem that bad but, when you consider the role consisted of me washing the pots and pans (that were covered in blood) and cleaning out the large refridgerator, which involved scrapping scraps of meat and blood from the floor and shelves :sick: - Makes me boring office job seem like heaven. Never again will I do such a job..... ever!

National Rail enquiries - shit job, shit pay and shit hours (3-11)

Closely followed by a side job a few of us had in the Army (with permission i might add) when we were based near Norwich:

Plucking fuckin Xmas Turkeys for Bernard Matthews

I'd have to say it would be Via-Systems, now known as Circatex.
4 12 hour shifts then 4 days off which aint too bad, yet the job was so fucking boring and it was full of whinging cunts.
Ended up drinking and boshing gear to get me through the shift it got so bad, in the end I just quit and couldn't even look at another job for several years.

i also worked in a supermarket as a fresh food assistant... highlight - working making the fresh pizza's and using cheese off the floor, snot from mi nose and spit

i once worked for a company called living design! selling kitchens over the phone. i worked with a massive woman who smelt like tea and cabbage, in a shoe box size office. two days after i started the company was on watchdog

I used to date a lass who spent the day putting tampons up dead ppls arses i dumped her when i found out

Working a restaurant in Ponteland for a fat head morrocan!!

He is a fucking prick!! 3 of us left half way thru service on a Sunday!!

There was fucking carnage!!

you shocking bastard

have done that job, walked out when i got shouted at for not being able to put 4 slices of tomato a second on a sandwich. used to get good money though and occasionally got to punch lettuces all day which was good.

hahhaah - thats what me and the lads used to piss ourselfs laughing about - they took it SOOOOOOOOO seriously

"GET THE FUCKING CHEESE STRAIGHT" - we'd just crease up laughing......
